AMC has released a new trailer for season two of its science fiction drama Humans.
The series features humanoid robots known as “synths,” which have been integrated into society. It explores the impact these inventions have on society, especially when they begin an “awakening.”
The eight-episode season, which debuted last fall in the UK, picks up where season one left off.
Carrie-Ann Moss joins the cast for the new season as Dr. Athena Morrow, an AI expert. Other new additions include Sam Palladio (Nashville), Marshall Allman (True Blood), Sonya Cassidy (Olympus), Bella Dayne (The Man in the High Castle) and Letitia Wright (Black Panther).
Writers Sam Vincent and Jonathan Brackley adapted Humans from the award-winning Swedish sci-fi drama Real Humans. Following its UK debut in 2015, Humans quickly became one of Channel 4’s highest-rated dramas.
Season two of Humans premieres February 13 at 10 p.m. on AMC.
About Humans Season 2:
